Gooseberry Pickle / Nellikai Oorukai

A totally cozy lazy week has passed by and I hardly peeped into the kitchen :( Oops.. but I never skipped a meal. :) All thanks to mummy for pampering me out of my fever syndrome. :)

But a yummy pickle that grandma taught me when she was here has been there in my drafts for days now. We are really pickle people!! almost one full rack of the fridge is filled with various pickles ;) yummmm

Nellikai / gooseberry is a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and phosphorous. Pickled or plain, gooseberry is always yummy.. I love the expression in one's face and the goose bumbs formation when the taste buds come in contact with the juice of these berries ;)

Hey gal i hope you are now feeling better, I myself have been down with fever and severe backache from almost a week now, I hate backaches :((((Anyways I too am a completely pickle gal, cant think my life without it :DYou literally are killing me with those gorgeous pics!

A great recipe. I always get jars different of pickles from India every 6 months (homemade by my mum) so I never bother to make my own. Just yday I had the last spoon of last acchar left. Now I think its time to venture into acchars. Thank you for sharing!
